Here is the latest report from our local PCSO Ange O’Connell:
Thames Valley Neighbourhood Police’s Report
Burglaries
This month we have had an increase in burglaries from three in Farnham Common, two in
Burnham and two in Taplow.
The NH teams are carrying out targeted patrols in these locations and also giving out crime
reduction advice at local events.
Now that the darker nights are drawing in please remember to;
Cut back your shrubs and hedges to aid visibility
Set timer switches to turn your lights on when away or coming home after
dark
Avoid leaving valuables in plain view e.g. laptops and tablets
Set any house alarms
Lock side gates to prevent access to the rear of your property
Keep any tools and ladders stored safely away in a locked garage
Don’t advertise that you are away and that your home is empty, by ‘checking
in’ or posting your holiday snaps on social media
Resist uploading any holiday pictures to social media until you have returned
home
Don’t leave windows open at the front of your property when you are in the
garden
Theft from motor Vehicles
We have seen a decrease in theft from vehicles with none reported in the Farnham’s area,
one report in Burnham and two in Taplow/Dorney
The team are continuing to patrol the car parks at these locations and identifying vehicles
with valuables on display and sending the owners a letter to remind them to keep out of
sight.
Theft of motor Vehicles
This month we have had one reported in the Burnham area, none in Farnham Common and
a one report for Taplow/Dorney.
